Proxy Vote

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Proxy vote
Vote cast by one person or entity on behalf of another.

Proxy Vote
At the annual meeting of a publicly-traded company, a vote that a shareholder allows to be cast by another on his/her/its behalf. Proxy votes are relatively common, especially when a shareholder cannot personally attend the annual meeting. Generally, but far from always, a shareholder allows the company's management to have his/her/its proxy vote. This gives the management greater control of the company.
